Coming Soon

This week head to the streets to ask questions about home, and discover what the word actually means.

This week we meet up in Oslo, and set out to explore questions in the realm of SPACES.

From the timeless verses of Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 to the raw, slang-infused lyrics of contemporary rap, we traverse the diverse landscape of poetic expression as we delve into poetic evolution spanning centuries.

We're getting real about those heart-pounding moments - sharing stories of surviving near-death experiences, conquering loss, and tackling fears head-on. Join us for an honest discussion on unraveling the mysteries of fear, discovering its roots, and finding ways to use it as a catalyst for growth.

Share your own fears with us at [email protected] – we're eager to hear about the ones you're facing and the ones you've overcome. And always, thanks for listening and being a part of this fearless journey!

Food is a cultural cornerstone. An experience shared with loved ones. A treat after a long day's work. And your source of energy to go on that run.

As men, we're confronted with an age-old question: Am I man enough? The elusive concept of a "great man" often intersects with societal expectations, creating a maze that constrains rather than liberates. It's easy to fall into the trap of conforming to external ideals instead of embracing our authentic selves.

Today's world presents countless challenges for men, leaving many feeling isolated and adrift. Amidst the pitfalls of traditional masculinity, we seek a path forward. As Jordan flaunts his long hair, we journey through fields of flowers, whimsical poetry, and heart-felt discussion to reflect on our own definitions and rediscover the essence of masculinity.

We invite you to join us as we pave the way for a more authentic and empowering understanding of manhood. Please share your thoughts with [email protected] — what defines a real man to you? Is there a singular definition that exists? We'd love to hear from you! Thanks for listening.
